Her face was flushed with pleasure and her eyes sparkled with anticipation. She hur- | ried to the telephone, but just as she |laid her hand on the receiver she | changed her mind. “'No, I'll have the fun of telling Dick face to face,” she said to herself. The thought of his surprise and de- j light quickened her feet on the stairs as she ran to her room to dress for the street. She determined to make him guess a few times before she told him. It was with some difficulty that she | modified the illumination of her beam- ing face as she entered her husband’s | office. He must not suspect at first that she was the bearer of such good tidings. desk and bhe merely nodded as she sank into a chair by his side. She had therefore plenty of time to compose her features. So it was with quite a successfully grave face that she greet. ed him when he finally ceased his tele. phonic conversation. “Well, dear?” he began. At the same instant the telephone bell began also, and in another second he was deeply engrossed in a conversation that to Mrs. Bruce seemed to have lasted ful- ly ten minutes. “Dick; I came down to—" she said when at last he hung up the recelver. “Just a minute, Lucy. I've got to call up Bentley at onceand tell him of this matter that Hardwich was phon- ing me about.” After Bentley had been put in pos sension of a long list of facts and de talls that to Mrs. Bruce were about as clear as 80 much Sanskrit her hus- band again turned to her with a wel coming smile. “This morning, Dick, I received a letter from—" “Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling,” rang the telephone. Its insistent demand for his attention promptly brought Bruce's ear to the recelver. “By George, is that right!” he ex claimed after he had listened a min. ute. “It's a pretty big deal, isn't it? Well, youll have to go to Hardwich for the figures. Yes, we can send over our schedule, but Hardwich can give you more data. Yes, certainly, I'll ask him. Don’t mention it. I have plenty of time. No trouble whatever.” He hung up tho receiver. “That was a chance to do the great Amalgamated company a little favor,” he said smilingly to Mrs. Bruce. But before his hand had left the receiver he changed his mind and took it down agaln. Then followed a long and dip- lomatic appeal to Hardwich. Mrs. Bruce sat through it patiently, buoyed | up by the thought of the perfectly de- lightful surprise she still had in store for her husband. Once more the receiver was hang up on its hook and Bruce, swinging around in his chair, said, “Going shop- ping, Lucy?” “No, Dick, T came down especlally to tell you—" Then the loud ring of the telephone drowned her voice. “Hullo. Yes. Oh, Mr. Bonthorne! Very glad to hear from you. Why, yes, I think so. No trouble at all. I have the whole project mapped out here in my desk. Yes, if you wish, I can read off the main points for you.” Bruce drew a thick package of pa- pers from a pigeon hole and began to tead slowly and carefully numerous paragraphs and long lists of figures. Mrs, Bruce gave his back a despairing glance, fidgeted for ten minutes and u:n. rising quietly, slipped out of the office. Half an hour later ghe called up her busband on the telephone from a dry goods store. Somewhat to her sur- prise the line was not busy and she got the connection at once. “Is this you, Dick?” “Yes, Lucy. Where in the world did you disappear to? I was dum- founded when I turned from the phone a minute ago to find.you gone. Why didn’t you wait?” “Because [ came downtown purpose 1y to tell you something. I got a let- ter from Mrs. Morse today.

Soft sashes of | | satin or chiffon, weighted with fringe, | are also used on the models designed for young misses in their teens, and | these sashes lend a graceful and | charming touch, Skirts are usually in ; @ | tunic style, or with band trimmings | that suggest the tunic, and bodices | cross over in surplice fashionm, fas.| tening with cord loops or fancy but- | tons. These dark school frocks are made dainty and girlish by the addi- tion of narrow, hand embroidered col- lar and cuff sets. Good fences=-and lots of them=- will grow money for you.

A police station in a western city has a trustworthy weather prophet. It is a frog of the genius Hyla, gen- erally known as the tree toad. The reptile was induced to act as a barom- eter by a policeman who was formerly an old frontiersman. He threw into a glass jar some stones and added a couple of inches of water. Then he whittled out a lit- tle wooden ladder and put it into the jar. After some lively scrambling a tree toad was caught, placed in the jar and a tin 1id screwed above him. The weather indicator was complete. When it 1s going to be falr weather the toad roosts on the top round of the ladder, solemnly blinking the hours away. From twelve to fifteen hours before a change to bad weather the toad begins to climb down, and ’ last. The prices are very reasonable. We invite you to call and see us.

Let the weather be changeable and “shifting,” as “Old Prob” says, and the toad goes up and down the ladder like a scared middy. When it is falr, and the toad roosts aloft, his skin is a light grayish green. When the change comes the skin turns black as the toad goes down the ladder, becom- ing a Jet, shining black by the time the creature reaches the houom. to look just right, you w.i % disappointed if you send t for we make a specialty of Vaccine Helps Crooks, laundry work. 8alt Lake City, Utah.—The discov- ery of a case of smallpox in the city jail in Salt Lake City a few days ago has crippled the local police force.
